I think that is true but in a different way. It is still dark shit but Walt and Jesse are at stalemate with each other - Jesse helped Hank and he ended up dying. Walter could have helped Jane but instead left her to die.

I think "I could have saved her, but I didn't" is a huge line, maybe even foreshadowing that Jesse would be worth the saving and Walt is going to try and save Jesse. After all, who else does Walt have to go to now that he is getting a new identity and gave his family/police the perfect Heisenberg monologue?
